Developing a research proposal takes time.
• It starts by identifying a general area or research and then developing a focused research question to be answered.
• Next a research protocol is created. The protocol needs to be appropriate to the research question, but also feasible in terms of time, resources and ethical considerations.
• The first part of the proposal will include the research question to be answered along with a statement of why the area of research is important and what is known already. The second part of the proposal is the methods section, where the plan for answering the research question is given. Depending on why the research proposal is being written (ethical approval, submission to funding agency), other sections may need to be included in the proposal.
When you are ready to start writing the research proposal, the first step is to carefully read over the guidelines of whatever agency you are submitting it to. These guidelines will give the deadlines for submission and instructions for the length, structure and format of the proposal.

Description of Rating Scale
Title Page
5: Is appropriate in tone and structure to education journals, contain necessary descriptors (subjects, independent (IV) and dependent variables (DV)), and allows readers to anticipate design

2: Identifies one descriptor, lacks design information or is misleading
1: Is not relevant to the intended study or is missing

Review of Literature
5: The review of literature is appropriate, provides background information and a critique of previous research that points out weaknesses, conflicts and areas of needed study
4: The review of literature is appropriate, most background information provided, critique points out some but not all of the areas of needed study.
